Although Mount Tai is high, it is not as good as the East China Sea.

Laoshan Mountain, high and cliff near the sea in the east, gentle and hilly in the west, with many peaks, is known as the first mountain on the sea.

Especially in the deep mountains, there are many Taoist temples, and it is rumored that there are immortals living in them, which can not help but add a lot of mysterious colors to this famous mountain.

Wang Qi was born in a family of eunuchs, and he loved to learn Taoism since he was a child, and he heard that there were many immortals in Laoshan Mountain, so he went out to visit the immortals with a bookcase.

On this day, he climbed to the top of a mountain and saw a temple, which was very quiet.

In the Taoist temple, a Taoist priest sat on a round cushion made of pu straw, his white hair hung down to the collar, but his face was very young.

Wang Qi was immediately overjoyed, thinking that he had met an immortal with an ageless face, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said excitedly: "The immortal is above, disciple Wang Qi, please ask the immortal chief to accept me as an apprentice and pass on my immortal skills!" ”

The Taoist priest lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Qi, and asked, "Learning immortal art is very hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”

Wang Qi hurriedly said: "Immortal Chief, the disciple is not afraid of hardship!" ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "You go and fill the water tank in the Taoist temple first, and then go and chop some firewood." ”

Wang Qi knew that this was the immortal chief's test of himself, so he nodded hurriedly, picked up the bucket and ran down the mountain.

Half a day later, Wang Qi finally filled the water tank, tired and blistered on his feet, rested for a while, thinking that this was the immortal chief's test for himself, he gritted his teeth ruthlessly, picked up the axe and went outside to chop wood.

When it was almost dark, Wang Qi returned to the temple with a large bundle of firewood, he was already out of breath, put down the firewood, and asked with a thirsty face: "Immortal Chief, the water tank is full, and the firewood has also come, now you can accept me as an apprentice?" ”

The Taoist priest shook his head slightly: "I can't." ”

Wang Qi was shocked: "Why is this, is it because I don't have immortal fate, or do I not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals?" ”

"Neither."

Zhang Xiuyi pulled off the snow-white wig on his head, and said helplessly: "Because the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple has gone out, I am the gatekeeper who watches the gate here." ”

Wang Qi: "@#¥%¥#@......"

You said it earlier!!

At this time, two months have passed since Zhang Xiu came to Laoshan.

Yan Feng and his wife also moved to the bottom of the mountain and held a wedding under the auspices of Zhang Xiu, who lived in the Taoist temple of the master of Xuantian Daoren and became a porter.

Zhang Xiu also didn't expect that the master of the Xuantian Daoist was still alive, and he was already more than three hundred years old this year, a proper land immortal.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu also knew the nickname of the Xuantian Daoist -

Xia'er!

It is said that on the day she was born, the clouds were all over the sky, and the Xuanji Taoist people felt it, came to the family where she was born, named her Xia'er, and agreed to come to accept apprentices when she was three years old.

Well, abducting children, proper human trafficker behavior, Zhang Xiu has complained for a long time and has not gotten tired of it, and now he still calls Xuanji Taoist the head of traffickers.

In the past few days, the Xuanji Taoist went out to visit friends, and Zhang Xiu, who stayed to watch the door, was idle and bored, got a wig, and was about to go down the mountain to find a big family to cheat and cheat on food and drink, and happened to bump into Wang Qi who came to seek immortals.

Wang Qi was teased by Zhang Xiu, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he only hated that he didn't bring a servant, looked at the iron rod in Zhang Xiu's hand, and forcibly swallowed this breath.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Qi said depressedly: "Since the immortal chief is not here, then I will stay and wait for him." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Accommodation is five taels, meals are ten taels, and you will check in after paying the money first." ”

Wang Qi said angrily: "Is this Taoist temple made of gold, or is the rice made of gold, do you open a black shop!" ”

Zhang Xiu Yile said: "I don't make money by opening a black shop, I don't want to live in other places, isn't there an inn at the foot of the mountain?" ”

At this time, a tiger roar suddenly sounded in the mountain, startling a forest of birds.

Wang Qi was so frightened that he trembled, gritted his teeth, took out two ingots of silver, and said, "Stay for one night, and then go get me some food!" ”

Zhang Xiu put away the silver with satisfaction and shouted outside, "Feng Xiao, you can stop." ”

The tiger's roar immediately stopped, and a white tiger the size of a cat ran in and jumped into Zhang Xiu's arms.

Wang Qi: "......"

It's a gang!

Black shop, this is definitely a black shop!!

After a while, Zhang Xiu came out with two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and took out a pot of soju to entertain Wang Qi.

Wang Qi ate two bites of the dish, feeling extremely delicious, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he devoured it.

When he was half-full and full of eating speed, Zhang Xiu asked: "Brother Wang, looking at your clothes and behavior, you should be from an official eunuch's family, I don't know what the situation outside is now." ”

Wang Qi took a sip of wine and said, "There is chaos outside, there is a female thief who claims to be a red whisk, and she has taken the head of Prime Minister Pang Tong thousands of miles away. The Holy Lord sent people to suppress the rebels, and he was defeated in successive battles, and ten generalissimos of soldiers and horses were replaced within two months, but he still couldn't stop the defeat. ”

"Many soldiers defected because they had no military rations, and in a fit of rage, the saint killed more than 20 officials of the household department."

"Now the entire south of the Yangtze River is completely occupied by the 72 anti-kings, and the imperial court is ruled by the river. When the people in the north heard that they could eat enough in the south, they smuggled across the river. ”

"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no need to fight, and in a few years, the people will all run out."

Wang Qi sighed with a look on his face and said, "If I don't say it, you will never know that the culprit of all this is actually a demon named Zhang Xiu." ”

"The seventy-two anti-kings are all from his disciples, and only such a demon who has caused trouble to the world can he deserve the title of the heavenly demon in this troubled world."

"Heavenly Demon in Troubled Times?"

Zhang Xiu's face was shocked: "Such a terrible devil, what does he have to look like, I saw him hide far away!" ”

Wang Qi looked at Zhang Xiu, who was frightened, smiled disdainfully, and said, "I was really asked by you this time, I really have a portrait of him on me!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a wanted notice from his bookcase.

Zhang Xiu took the wanted warrant and took a closer look, only to see that the person on the painting was five big and three thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard on his face, and Zhang Xiu laughed out loud.

The person on this painting is himself, it is clearly Yan Feng!

This kind of thing has to be blocked for yourself, Brother Yan is righteous!

Wang Qi was confused by Zhang Xiu's laughter, and wondered: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, by the way, aren't you going to ask for immortals, the Shangqing Palace on the mountain next door is for accepting apprentices, I heard that the Taoist priests in the Taoist Temple are strong in magic, I will help you write a letter of recommendation, you can take it there to apprentice." ”

Wang Qi patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder with a smile, and said confidently: "When I learn the spell, go down the mountain to catch the chaotic demon Zhang Xiu, level the seventy-two anti-kings, and make contributions, I will definitely not forget your recommendation today!" ”
